@nasalot188 I was walking into the YMCA with my DD and DH for her swim lessons and we passed a little girl who then exclaimed loudly to her mommy that she thought that lady has a baby in her tummy. My husband was like wow brave girl thank god you are pregnant I wouldn't want you beating up a child.

@mamabearcj I may or may not have stretch marks on my hips/love handles too! (hard to tell..) None on the belly yet. My mom only had 1 mark on each hip, so hopefully I am that way! I have alllll the marks on my thighs from previous weight gain, so I do wonder how I don't have any on the belly!
@jemmerjams oh yeah my inner thighs and lower butt cheeks even are like speckled with stretch marks!! I'm fine with it but I still hope I dont get them on the belly.
@sammierose464 FYI from experience you can get them on the actual skin of your lady bits. I have one down the middle I got last time. Honestly during the last half of my pregnancy I thought it was an ingrown hair nope turns out my vaginal couldn't take the stretching anymore. Ugh!

@bntfroggie did that hurt like an ingrown hair? I've never heard of anyone having stretch Mark's there but I guess I'm not surprised they can pop up anywhere
@mamabearcj yeah and it felt like it was an ingrown hair but of course I couldn't see anything down there at all. I guess it was really red and when they prepped me for my c-section they nurse even asked the doctor if it was okay. Had I known it was a stretch mark I wouldn't have picked at it so much. It's definitely weird getting one there. Towards the end I think my stomach was maxed out from them and they started coming in on the sides. So far so good this time around. No stretchmarks yet but I'm only 27 wks and that's when they started coming in last time.

@sammierose464 1st tri?! Crazy how different they hit people
I get them really easily. And I carry most of my weight in my stomach, so I was already stretching in the 1st tri. They don't really bother me other than occasionally being painful when they stretch a lot.
I have had stretch marks my entire adult life. I had a huge growth spurt when I was 10, then I gained alot of weight when I was 19 and then I lost a lot of weight when I was 22 then I continued to go up and down on the scale for years. My skin doesn't react to fast stretching. I have them on my boobs, thighs, arms, tummy, back of knees! Weird thing is I have only go two additional stretch marks so far this pregnancy!

@chyvie when my boobs came in in like high school I feel like it was overnight. Anyway they were ALL stretchmarks and I remember thinking who would love my zebra boobs. Turns out guys don't care if you have stretchmarks on your boobs as long as they can touch them HA HA

It's not like you could see any stretch marks on my boobs if I had them (...do I have them???), once they fade, they fade to ghostly pale to match the rest of my body lol.
Lol @the boob comment! Stretch marks are all over my belly they aren't painful or itchy so I will take that as a win. Haven't noticed marks anywhere else but I can't see very much! Out working with the public and blew my nose at least an hour or two ago and was talking with someone and my nose hurt. I had a freaking huge dried piece of snot on the edge of my nose.ugh guess it isn't a pregnancy thing but dang I felt like an idiot!
Lol snot. Who would have thought snot on my face would turn into this. Love it!! Just make sure to check your face after you blow your nose! Don't be me lol
I dunno if you would call this an “achievement”, but today I did my biweekly Target trip and as far as Target trips go, it was fairly efficient. However, I was so tired I had to sit down and rest in the middle.
I had someone offer me a seat for the first time...not on the train (I've heard that will never happen in SF), but at a busy gate in the airport. I was in group 1 because I'd upgraded and we were about to start boarding (plus I was about to sit for 4 hours), so I declined, but it was still really nice.
+1 for dried snot. I keep hoping that someone will buy & send the humidifier that we registered for, so I can start using it at night!
I finally have something! I leaned against a door as I pushed it open today (so not motivated) and my belly hit the door before my boobs! I'm not small chested, though not huge, with D's. But enough that the boobs are usually definitely first. It shocked me, but kind of exciting!
Idk how long it's been since I've seen my feet but I notice weighing myself the other day I had to lean to the side to see the scale so it's been a while!! Lol
Re: Pregnancy achievement: unlocked!
Stretch marks.. but not on my belly, more on my hips/love handles. And a few lines on my boobs..
Ahh the no filter of children. I just love it. He was so cute.
